Batamas Sdn Bhd

Batamas was incorporated in December 1983 as the first calcium silicate brick producer in Malaysia. In Year 2007, Batamas Sdn Bhd became a wholly owned subsidiary.

Batamas’ core business is in the manufacturing and trading of calcium silicate bricks. Calcium silicate bricks, subject to British Standard 187, are used as building materials in the construction industry, and the product is marketed in Malaysia using the brand name "KALSA".

Batamas’ factory is located on a 10-acre site in Batu Gajah, in the State of Perak, Malaysia. The factory utilizes fully automated German Krupp Polysius machinery to produce high quality KALSA calcium silicate bricks. The bricks are well established for durability, sound insulation, heat resistance, high compressive strength, accuracy in size and even in texture. 

Calcium Silicate Bricks [KALSA] are made by compressing a mixture of naturally clean raw materials – lime and sand – under high pressure steam; a process which chemically fuses the raw materials to form calcium silicate – a compound that is well known for its heat insulation properties. The lime and sand used is tested for consistency, fineness and purity. During the manufacturing process, below par bricks are automatically destroyed. The final product is subjected to impact tests to verify its tenacity.

Calcium Silicate Bricks offer a few distinct advantages such as economical, high compressive strength, heat resistance, sound insulation and durability that place them in a class above all other bricks.

Beauty – In their natural state, Calcium Silicate Bricks are white, a whiteness that remains even through years of weathering. By pre-mixing with pigments, Calcium Silicate Bricks of almost any colour can also be produced. This together with their perfect geometrical shape, uniformity in size and aesthetic appeal make Calcium Silicate Bricks most suitable as a decorative medium in home construction or as facing bricks.

Economical – Their uniform size and shape enable easier and fast bricklaying. Being hard, damage by rough handling on site is only minimal. This give saving in terms of materials, labour, time and cost.

High compressive strength – Compacted and steam-cured at high temperatures and pressures makes the bricks have high compressive strength. This, together with good load-bearing capability makes Calcium Silicate Bricks ideal for non-frame construction.

Heat Resistance – Calcium Silicate Bricks have exceptional heat insulation characteristics, thus ensuring a cool, crisp interior.

Sound insulation – Their good sound insulation properties keeps your working and living environment quiet and peaceful.

Durability – Calcium Silicate Bricks harden with age. As they do not contain soluble salts, they do not disintegrate.
